Located in Dos Brazos, Bolita Trails and Lodging features a garden and a bar. The hostel provides both free WiFi and free private parking.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Dos Brazos, like hiking. I came as a guest and decided to stay as a volunteer. I sincerely enjoyed my time soaking in the nature and wildlife. There is so much hiking you can do, I recommend staying at least a few nights to enjoy it thoroughly. A special thanks to Ron the owner for his kindness and the other volunteers and guests for a beautiful experience. I look forward to coming again!

Choose between our cozy dorms or private rooms, all designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll have access to a shared kitchen, chillout spaces, and opportunities to meet travelers from around the world. The property was close to the beach, they offered a lot of fun activities for opportunities to meet people and the staff were lovely. The rooms were clean and it was not noisy at night. I had a medical emergency and the staff were so helpful and caring in offering to assist me and checking in on me.
